I use viPlugin for eclipse on a daily basis. It has the following pros/cons:
- It is not an embedded copy of the real vim. Embedded versions of VIM do not benefit from IDE features (code sense, refactoring, completion, code warnings/errors updated on save, etc). On the whole, it supports most of the VIM command set that you use on a consistent basis.
- It costs money...not much, and I think it is worth it, but you do have to pony up a little cash
- Some plugins do not play well with it. specifically, it doesn't work with the JBoss visual web page editor, and you have to turn it off/back on if you refactor a class in a way that results in the underlying file being renamed. These are both minor annoyances, since it works fine with the regular JSP editor, and you rarely use the refactoring op.
I find it to be indispensible, and the benefits of all the eclipse tools and plugins is awesome....I particularly like Mylin, refactoring, the intelligent code completion, and the code warnings/errors as you type.
